Whether they are four or five years old, a few years old, or even adults in their twenties.
As long as you are willing to learn, he will accept you.
that's all.
Huo Nanchuan became the teacher's first student.
"Our Nanchuan is smart... He has been smart since he was a child..."
"His father was literate and taught him step by step when he was young. Nanchuan learned it quickly, but when he was five, there was nothing more he could learn..."
"When Nanchuan's father was still alive, he always said he was sorry to Nanchuan because he couldn't afford to send him to school..."
One year later.
Huo Nanchuan also became the teacher's favorite student.
The teacher's ordinary courses were no longer enough for Huo Nanchuan.
So the teacher set aside his evening time to teach Huo Nanchuan alone.
All the knowledge discussed is more difficult and complicated.
Chi Wan didn't know what level Huo Nanchuan had reached at that time, whether it was junior high school, high school, or even college level.
It can make professors in the capital university treat me differently.
It can be seen how amazing Huo Nanchuan's intelligence and talent are.
No wonder he can repair bicycles and watches just by reading books.
All of this is inseparable from the teacher's careful teaching.
But.
The good times didn’t last long.
"At the beginning of that year, Nanchuan's father passed away..."
"Since then, Nanchuan has to work in the fields during the day, and even when he is very tired at night, he still lights a candle and reads for a while..."
"I didn't expect that half a year later, that teacher would also leave..."
When Zhang Yue'e talked about this past event, she still felt extremely heavy.
Chi Wan understood that it was a changing era, and whether the teacher would leave or stay was not determined by one person's will.
She listened quietly.
Listen to Zhang Yue'e continue speaking.
"Before leaving, the teacher came to our house in person..."
Chi Wan heard this.
Suddenly, 뀞껙 jumped.
She vaguely guessed what was going to happen next.
His eyes trembled slightly.
Eagerly waiting for Zhang Yue'e's next words.
As expected, I heard...
"That teacher wants to take Nanchuan away."
When Zhang Yue'e reached this point, she closed her eyes and tears seemed to be welling up again.
The teacher didn't do it to snatch the child away, but to cherish the talent.
He said, "He has been teaching for three years and has only just met such a smart kid like Huo Nanchuan."
He said, "If you leave your child to me, I will be responsible for his food, clothing, and tuition fees in the future."
He also said, "I will ensure that Ho Nam-cheon can go to Capital University and become a glorious college student."
It was also after that conversation.
Only then did Zhang Yue'e deeply remember the four words "Capital University".
It was once so close, yet so far away.
This news was both a great joy and a great disaster for the Huo family at the time.
Because of the early death of Huo Nanchuan's father.
Huo Dongzhi and Huo Chuchun were still such young children.
The entire Huo family is supported by Huo Nanchuan alone.
If Huo Nanchuan left, Zhang Yue'e would not be able to raise two children by herself.
But if Huo Nanchuan is not allowed to leave...
In his lifetime, he would never have the opportunity to study again, let alone go to university and attend the best university in the capital.
After listening to what the teacher said.
Zhang Yue'e was caught in the middle.
The backs of her hands are all flesh.
Neither side can be separated.
When Zhang Yue'e recalls the difficulties she faced at that time, she still feels so painful.
"At that time, I didn't know what to choose... It was a matter concerning Nanchuan's whole life... If I didn't let him go, it would ruin his life... If I let him go, the family couldn't live without him... I really didn't know what to do..."
In the most difficult times.
Young Huo Nanchuan walked in.
He chose his own path in life.
It was not the "Capital University" that he had come to know, but his home in the midst of turmoil.
Zhang Yue'e remembers it clearly.
At that time, Huo Nanchuan, who looked thin, stood in front of the teacher and opened his mouth unwaveringly.
"Teacher, thank you for teaching me for so long. The knowledge you taught me will benefit me for the rest of my life. But I can't go with you. I have to stay here."
He chose to stay.
He became the head of the Huo family who shouldered the heavy burden of the family.
Although the teacher was reluctant, facing Huo Nanchuan's determination, he could only give up with regret.
But before finally leaving.
The teacher left all the books he had to Huo Nanchuan.
The teacher advised, "I hope you will never forget that learning is the only way to change your life. If possible, I will wait for you at Capital University."
Face this invitation.
The young Huo Nanchuan could not utter a word.
No one knows what is going on inside his heart behind his silence.
As those people left.
The small mountain village returned to its peace and fell into a vortex of being abandoned by history.
The Huo family's life will not improve overnight.
Instead, it becomes more difficult.
During the most painful years, the four members of the family were starving.
Huo Nanchuan looked at his family, gritted his teeth, and made a decision.
He walked all day.
From the village to the county town, and then back to the village.
Huo Nanchuan sold all the last books that his teacher left him.
He exchanged it for 10 catties of potatoes and 3 catties of flour.
It helped the Huo family, young and old, survive the coldest winter.
It was a long time later that Zhang Yue'e discovered that the wooden box under Huo Nanchuan's bed was empty.
That is Huo Nanchuan’s favorite...favorite thing.
Zhang Yue'e burst into tears at that time.
Her sour tears were filled with her guilt towards Huo Nanchuan.
"Nanchuan, I am sorry for you...I am a burden to you...I am sorry...I am sorry..."
The young Huo Nanchuan hugged Zhang Yue'e and comforted her.
"Mom, the contents of those books have long been in my mind. The books have been sold, and the most important thing is to fill our stomachs. Don't mention this matter again in the future. It won't be good if Xiaodong and Xiaochun see it."
This past event was thus buried in the memories of Zhang Yue'e and Huo Nanchuan.
No one mentioned it again.
Over the years, the Huo family's life has been getting better and better.
Zhang Yue'e's guilt about the past gradually eased.
But today——
The four words "Capital University" are like the key to unlock dusty memories.
It made her remember these things all at once.
If Huo Nanchuan's father hadn't died...
If Huo Nanchuan had followed that teacher at that time...
He should now be wearing a clean white shirt, sitting in a bright and clean classroom, holding a book with a red seal.
Become the college student that everyone envies in that school.
After Zhang Yue'e finished speaking, her rough fingers once again gently stroked the red words that she could not understand at all.
